As per some newspaper reports, the Kerala High Court on Tuesday stayed the publication of the result of ICAR AIEEA Re-examination 2018.

A writ petition was also filed by two candidates, Amal C T and Adarsh C K – for those who could not appear for the exam due to floods. Some candidates were allotted the test center at Kozikhode, but they were unable to report at the test venue due to heavy rain and landslide. The petitioners have made a request before the Minister for Agriculture to direct ICAR to postpone the exams.
The petitioners submitted that the ICAR ignored the appeal by the state government and went ahead with the decision to conduct the exam.
As per the official sources, many students complained that they did not even receive the information regarding the change in the exam center. Furthermore, no proper notice was issued as well. Only 40% of candidates could appear for the entrance test at Kochi.
